caring for a Mac

[AeroBar]

hi,


I have covered when not in use but there is dust gathering on it all the time.
also there are small stains on the screen from people constantly pawing it.
how do you guys clean your Macs?
Especially the material on the optical drive 'entrance'.

cheers.

I've found that warm water and a soft cotton cloth are great for cleaning up the blood and tears of whoever touches my screen.

A wooden ruler applied to the paws, would be my first choice.

I use a microfiber cloth to clean my screen, with a solution of isopropyl alcohol and distilled water.

I go easy on the alcohol (maybe no more than 1/3 of the solution). Don't use a paper towel or anything, and don't use a cleaner with ammonia in it... at least not on a matte screen (not sure if it's AS big a deal with a glossy screen).

Everybody has their own preference. I use a microfiber towel and slightly soapy water. I'd only move on to other solvents if water isn't doing the job. You can't necessarily see dulling you may be causing with non-polar solvents.

Buy iKlear if you want the best. It's expensive but it will keep it clean for years.
